Kaska is Slavic in Origin.
A Slavic hypocoristic of Katarzyna/Katarina/Kateřina, Kaska ultimately traces to Greek katharos, “pure,” the source of Catherine. In Polish it’s commonly written Kaśka; in Czech and Slovak, Kaška; the diacritic‑free Kaska circulates internationally and can serve as a friendly, bright alternative to formal Catherine-forms.
As a familiar form, it appears in parish registers and literature across 19th–20th‑century Poland and the Czech lands, and today sometimes stands alone on birth certificates, in step with the nickname‑as‑given‑name trend. Close variants and cognates include Kasia (Polish), Kačka (Czech), Katarzyna, Katarina, Kateřina, Catherine, and Katherine. Note that Kaska is also the ethnonym of the Kaska Dena, an Athabaskan-speaking First Nation in Canada, and the name of an ancient Anatolian people; these homonyms are unrelated in meaning.
